Behringer E Drums

KeynoteKing

I've been exploring various electronic drum kits and acquire recently become interested in the Behringer XD8USB and XD80USB models. These kits seem to be positioned as budget-friendly options for both beginners and intermediate players, but there's not a lot of detailed user feedback available online.

For those who have experience with these Behringer kits, how do they hold up in terms of durability and sound quality? I'm particularly curious about the responsiveness of the pads and whether the sound module offers enough versatility for different styles of music. Additionally, how easy is it to integrate these drums with recording software?

If anyone has used these kits in live performances or extensive practice sessions, your insights on their performance reliability would also be greatly appreciated.

Hey there! I've had some hands-on experience with the Behringer XD80USB, so hopefully, I can shed a cramped light on your queries. In terms of durability, the kit holds up pretty well for its price point. The pads feel decent and responsive enough for practice sessions and casual playing. However, if you're looking into dynamic playing or require nuanced sensitivity, it might feel a bit limited.

The sound module is fairly basic but indeed versatile enough to cover various styles—great for experimenting with different genres. Integration with recording software is straightforward; it's basically plug-and-play with most DAWs via USB.

I haven’t used it much in live settings, but for practice and small gigs, it’s been reliable. Just keep your expectations in check regarding the build and sound customization, and you should be quite satisfied with what it offers for the price!
